You Look Good

This weekend, the Seymour stop of the ‘You Look Good Riders Cup’ went off. A course consisting of one rail hit (3 options) and 2 jumps was the venue for professional and amateur snowboarders from all over the world. One mentionable result is Grouse’s own Kevin Dzah brought home first place in the Grom (12 and under) category. The rest of the results can be seen at www.youlookgood.ca.

I, of course, was out taking pictures, here are some of the better shots from the day.

Grouse: Cut Park Montage

The park is now running smoothly on Cut with some very fun features. Here’s a quick little edit thrown together by Shayan including some shots from Quik park when it was still in business. Enjoy.

Second Oakley Night Jam

Hey everyone,

So if you didn’t know, this past Friday was the second Oakley Night Jam of the year. Hosted in the Quiksilver Park, there were plenty of features to hit. The jam took place on the Flat Down and the Up Box, providing great fun for all. Congrats to everyone who killed it, I hope you got your prize. The prizes included the Oakley wallets, backpacks, laynards, toques as well as POW spring gloves. The final prize included 10 Boardroom gift cards which were given out to just about anything ‘unique’. The Jam was wrapped up with a raffle for a pair of Oakley Sunglasses and the new Shaun White A-frames. Be sure to come out to the next jam February 5th, 2010.

It’s Sunny, Go Shred!

Hey all,

Contrary to popular belief, Grouse Mountain is still super fun right now. Call up a couple homies and hit it up. Get creative and you’re bound to have a good time. Just ask local boy Shayan Aghourlikhani. I got a call from him yesterday afternoon and he was having a heck of a good time with fellow local and grom, Kevin Dzah. Temperatures are dropping, snow may be coming, but go now and enjoy yourselves.

Also, I’m stoked to announce that we’ve taken on two new bloggers for the remainder of the season. Grouse local and aspiring pro photographer, Bill Hawley, and a guy that I can’t say enough good things about, Hamish Baxter are both on board to bring you more content from the hills. Both these guys travel a bunch and they’ll be sure to bring you not only what’s fresh on the local scene, but also around BC and maybe outside of BC too. And you thought the universe ended outside these borders. They’ll be introducing themselves real soon, so watch for that.

Cheers,

Sam

Safety First!

So, the time we have all been waiting for is here, winter break. Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, whatever you believe, they’re all here. More importantly, the freedom to snowboard or ski and be carefree every day is rolling through. This is a time for holiday celebrations, visiting friends and family and for riding every single day. Remember, throughout all the festivities you may start to get tired and, as we all know, the Lower Mainland hasn’t had that much new snow lately. The mountains aren’t exactly covered in powder at the moment, but don’t fret! Just remember to think about your safety and make sure you stock up on Red Bulls for the mornings you’re feeling tired. I wish you all happy shredding and a happy holiday as well!

My silly, broken wrist

Happy people being safe

These people know what's up!
